About this blog

A mother of two currently living in an organised chaos. Has "temporarily" lived in Bangkok for 11 years and now settling in The Netherlands.

A rebel at heart, a non-conformist and a semi-reformed workaholic. Used to globe-trot for work and now a part-time SAHM. Passionate about home-cooking and addicted to coffee. Still severely sleep-deprived.

My blog is a mish-mash of things; from gastro-related topics, to anecdotal accounts of motherhood and parenting, to travels and life in Thailand and The Netherlands, as well as everything else in between.
